Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

QMK song player web app – play QMK songs in your browser (getreuer.info)

QMK song player is a web app that reads QMK song code and plays it in your browser.

If you have a QMK keyboard with a speaker, you can use the audio feature to produce these songs from your keyboard (how to add songs to your keymap). Why do this? Because it is fun! You can play a song when the keyboard starts up, or more functionally, play a little melody to indicate events like when setting the default layer.

QMK comes with a good number of predefined songs out of the box. Here are a couple to whet your appetite:

More songs are in quantum/audio/song_list.h. You can also edit the code and write your own songs, see QMK song syntax for how to do it. Enjoy!

Yes to combat music, excellent idea! If you can play it by ear or find sheet music for it, it can potentially be coded note by note in QMK song syntax.
